We may all be stuck at home and inside right now but that only gives us all ample opportunity to dream, look ahead, develop a serious case of wanderlust, and start putting together elaborate bucket lists of things we want to see and do and places we want to go when it is safe to do so again. And we're definitely all due a getaway when this thing is over! One of the places that we always favour is Croatia and one particular island in Croatia, quite the hidden gem, that we'd love to be exploring right now is Lastovo. Here are some reasons as to why it is on all of our bucket lists right now:

1. It is a natural gem.

Lastovo is a uniquely beautiful and unique island in Croatia as it is the only island in its entirety to be declared a Nature Reserve in the country. As such, her immense natural bounty and the fascinating flora and fauna of the island, have remained protected and preserved.

2. It is a perfect place to relax.

Home to less than one thousand people, sleepy, half-empty, pretty, little villages wonderful views over the Adriatic, and some excellent vineyards, it is a place of peace, calm, and relaxation.

If you have found a vacation rental in Sibenik and are planning on exploring the archipelago, you might be looking for different towns, attractions, areas, and islands to visit on day trips. While there are many to choose from, one of the most unique and interesting spots to hit up must be the island of Zlarin. It is a must-see for those interested in taking care of the environment and environmental policies around the globe as it has recently been announced to be Croatia’s first zero waste, plastic-free island! Incredibly beautiful as it is, this latest announcement only makes the stunning island all the more appealing and is certain to ensure that it remains an unspoiled gem.

If you have always wanted to float in the Dead Sea but can't quite make it to Israel or Jordan, then why not find a vacation rental in Dubrovnik and head to the pretty island of Lokrum?

“Why?” you may ask. Well, the answer is simple; they may not have the famous Dead Sea but they do have their own miniature Dead Sea called the Mrtvo more, which is similarly easy to swim in and, therefore, has become one of the most popular attractions on the island.

Many are drawn to Croatia as a holiday destination for the sun and fun that is promised by the long coast, perfect weather and impossibly blue waters of the Adriatic. There are many coastal cities to explore but the 2,000 year old charming city of Trogir has to be one of our favourites among them all. A vacation rental in Trogir is an especially good idea for those who want to explore the coast of Croatia from underneath the water as it is home to the Trogir Diving Centre, which, with twenty years of experience, and a variety of programs to choose from, is great for all levels of experience.

In the last post, we began outlining some of the diving packages that you can choose from and here are the rest that are offered by the centre...
